Captain Gareth Ainsworth has urged teenage forward Jordan Ibe to make his mark with Wycombe before earning himself a big move.
Ibe, at 15 years and 355 days, became the club's youngest ever goal scorer in the Football League on Saturday when he netted the equaliser during the 2-1 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday. Schoolboy Ibe has already attracted the interest of Premier League clubs and trained with Liverpool during the summer. Ainsworth, 23 years Ibe's senior, believes the forward has undoubted natural ability but wants to see him prove it during his time at Adams Park. "Hopefully he can make a big name for himself, but even more I hope he does it at Wycombe to start off with because we want to keep hold of players here," Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio. "He is uncoachable in some ways - the way he goes forward, takes people on and scores goals. He has got all you could ever wish for in an up-and-coming youngster. "The goal he scored on Saturday, we have seen him do that in training so many times. It is not a fluke, it is not a one-off, he is the real deal."
